    Haven't seen this since it's cinema release.

    Completely different role for Levy.

    John De Lancie's great.

    This isn't ringing any bells but being a guy in his 30's I'd be surprised if I haven't seen a post-Batman Michael Keaton film from the 90's.

    I've always thought of Andie MacDowell as being quite 'one note' but seeing this back to back with Groundhog Day I think I owe her an apology.

    Keaton is always a safe pair of hands.

    I can imagine that America football at that age probably is largely uncoordinated and....dreadful.

    The kids in this are very good. And I generally don't get on with child actors.

    This is really well filmed, technically. Nearly seamless.

      Agreed. This kind of thing goes wrong so often but they've nailed it here.

    If this was reversed and Andie MacDowell was the one cloning herself, this whole "were you wearing that shirt a minute ago" problem just wouldn't come up.

      And back at the beginning of the marathon it would have caused a whole different type of scene.

    Much under rated. Don't think I've ever seen this on a TV schedule and I really don't know why.

      Completely. I think we nearly didn't include this ourselves. Glad we did. Has woken me up a bit!
